Line 1: − '''Experimental science''' is science based on [[experiment|experimental research]] that plays the role of testing [[hypothesis]], typically in controlled laboratory settings. The hypothesis investigated in classical experimental science postulate regularities among event-types. These regularities may be statistical, as in quantum mechanics, and they may or may not be causal. Experimental scientist are interested in testing functional regularities (e.g. the Boyle-Charles's law for ideal gases), as well as causal regularities. − A test condition C is inferred from the hypothesis and a prediction is made about what should happen if C is realized. This forms the basis for a series of controlled experiments.<ref name="Cleland">{{Cite journal − | author=Cleland, C.E. − | title=Methodological and Epistemic Differences between Historical Science and Experimental Science − | journal=Philosophy of Science − | volume=69 − | month=September | year=2002 |page=480, 495 | pages=474–496 − | format=PDF − | url=http://spot.colorado.edu/~cleland/articles/Cleland.PS.Pdf − | accessdate = 25.1.2012 − |quote= − }}</ref> − == References == − {{Reflist}} − ==See also== − *[[Empirical science]] − *[[Historical science]] − *[[Operation science]] − *[[Origin science]] − *[[Paleoscience]] − [[category:science]] − [[category:scientific disciplines]] − [[category:Methodology of Science]]
